I doubt this will come as any surprise to Ben Turner.
This Ben Turner?

But yes, not good reading.

Cala is denying that he said anything untoward.
Valencia players are adamant that he did.
They've got audio of him now.

Audible words: "Negro negro ven ven." (Come on, black)
Then: "Negro de mierda vas a llorar!" (Go and cry, black shit)
What a lovely chap.
Proper left wing fan base Cadiz, could be interesting.
There is nowhere near the same sensitivity to racial slurs or the use of language that refers to race in Spain as there is in most English speaking countries (Maybe Australia/SA aside) . It's pretty much normal to hear someone casually refer to a person as "a Blackman" or "a Chinese fella" or "a Moor". Same goes for homophobic language.
Conversely, language that makes reference to gender seems to frowned upon to greater extent than in the UK.
Same goes for painting your face black for fancy dress and what not ..... or colonialist era branding similar to the "golly-wog" character.
